Hornady should jump on with their 250gr monoflex ML bullet, make the tip white or zombie green, that should force Barnes to get cracking on getting their offerings going!!!

Yes there could be 3-4 more options.

I was impressed with 5! I'd imagine that the Southern Jay's location also has 5, that being said there isn't much reason for people in Meeeechigan to complain about availability as Jays ships.

Looking forward to reading about successful hunts this year using these newer options.
Also looking forward to using my Barnes 200xpb loads and getting some detailed photos of the deer. But maybe I don't harvest any white tails with them this season, I'm also hunting with a.308 pistol.

Clare was my home town. I miss having Jays Sporting Goods a quick drive away, nothing even compares where I'm at now in NC. Jays is a guaranteed afternoon stop whenever I make it home for Christmas.
